Reception

Vipin Nair of Music Aloud rated 8.5/10 to the album, calling it as a "nice, melody-oriented soundtrack" reminiscent of yesteryear Malayalam films and ranked Gopi Sundar's composition "Mukkathe Penne" as the best from the album over Jayachandran and Ramesh Narayan's works. [8] Karthik Srinivasan of Milliblog described it as a "highly melodious offering from Jayachandran and Ramesh Narayan". [9] G. Ragesh of Manorama Online wrote "While the romantic song 'Kannondu Chollanu' is already a hit, the musical version of a Changampuzha [Krishna Pillai] poem is likely to find a place in the hit chart soon. M. Jayachandran and Pandit Ramesh Narayan along with their singers deserve a share of the credit for conveying the feel of the film so brilliantly." [10]

Gokul Nair of Film Companion South wrote "The musical trinity, comprising M. Jayachandran, Gopi Sunder, and Ramesh Narayan, has composed an excellent soundtrack that accentuates the beauty and pathos of Kanchana and Moideen's doomed love story. Shreya Ghoshal's melodious voice in 'Kathirunnu' (a song that speaks for the entire film) helps us to embrace and remember the moving aspects of this romantic tragedy." [11] S. Shivakumar of The Hindu while describing the songs being "soulful" and "melodious", he also praised the background score as it "complements the mood of each sequence". [12]

Controversy

After Narayan's win at the Kerala State Film Award for Best Music Director, he accused Vimal and Prithviraj condemning his attempts to exclude some of his songs for the film. [26] Narayan said that, apart from "Ee Mazhathan" he had recorded two more songs with K. J. Yesudas, but those were omitted at the last minute which left Yesudas disheartened. He also said that there were attempts to exclude the song "Sharadambaram" that was sung by P. Jayachandran for the film, which was unsuccessful. [27] Prithviraj responded to Narayan's claims, saying that problem is mostly with Vimal and Narayan, and he had no role in it. [28]

At a press meet in Chennai, following Jayachandran's win for National Film Award for Best Music Direction, he cleared the controversies regarding credit for the music. He said that Narayan had compose three songs with two of them being included, and Jayachandran's compositions had also been included, but he said to Prithviraj that he would score the film, only if Narayan permits to do so. Jayachandran also recalled that Narayan had left the project owing to creative differences, despite composing most of the songs and has been unaware of such instances happened. Expressing his gratitude to Prithviraj on giving the freedom he required, Jayachandran claimed that the contribution of the three composers "brought musical images that were as beautiful as those a single music director would have created". [29]
